"She's told Simon how broody she's been feeling. The pair have spoken about children and it's something they both very much want in the future. Simon already has a five-year-old daughter from his previous marriage with Clary, who Adele has met and absolutely adores," a source told the Daily Star Sunday.

"Simon is an amazing dad and has always spoken about wanting more. He just never realized that it could happen so soon as just this time last year he'd resigned himself to the fact that he'd never be happy and settle down again after the heartbreak of his divorce.

"It's a huge turnaround for Adele, who's always said she wants to wait until she's at least 30 and has five albums before she thinks about a family. Adele's even got a list of names she loves, which are mainly after the music stars she grew up idolising."
